Emmet Kennedy

Emmet is a highly experienced physiotherapist based at both our Falkirk and Linlithgow clinics.  He is our Clinical Lead Physiotherapist in Linlithgow.

Emmet graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Sports Science and Health from Dublin City University in 2005 and moved on to study Physiotherapy via the Masters programme at Glasgow Caledonian University, graduating in 2008.

Returning to his home soil in Ireland, he spent valuable time learning on the job by working with a number of sporting institutions. However, the call to Caledonia was too strong for Emmet and he returned to Scotland in early 2009 beginning a successful career within the NHS, which provided an excellent grounding across a range of physiotherapy specialties. However since 2013, Emmet has worked exclusively in private practice and with musculoskeletal conditions but has continued to expand his knowledge through postgraduate training. Emmet is highly qualified in diagnostic ultrasound scanning and ultrasound guided injections, having achieved distinctions in his awarded grades. He works with Stewart in delivering the scan and injection services.

Emmet enjoys seeing a varied caseload and has a breadth of knowledge across the musculoskeletal speciality. While injuries can be complex, Emmet’s approach to managing them is uncomplicated. Patients are immediately put at ease in his company and he works hard to ensure they feel welcome and comfortable in the clinical environment. He places a big emphasis on working in collaboration with his patients and helping them achieve their desired goals.

Emmet is equally comfortable treating the general population as he is with high end athletes. His daily clinic will include everything from back and neck pain to sprains and strains. Over the years, Emmet has developed a specific interest in treating golf and running related injuries. As such he leads on the Golf Screen and Running Clinic services.

In his time away from the clinic Emmet’s main interest lie in leading by example and spending regular time at the gym. He also enjoys running, and playing golf when possible. He is a keen armchair sports fan (with good posture and only in short spurts of course!) and really enjoys a good biography. Emmet also loves getting outdoors with his young family and, when possible, visiting friends and relatives back home in Ireland.
